there's supposed to be three equal branches of government but we're more equal. we're going to use our advise and consent power under the constitution to effectively undermine and attack the judiciary and the executive branch. that is not what the framers had in mind. show me a "federalist paper" and the discussions over how the constitution was put together where any of our framers argued that advise and consent is designed so that congress can basically damage the executive branch, judicial branch by refusing to consider nominatio nominations. so that's one big change. well, let's take a look at motions to proceed. motions to proceed, we see back here in 1932, there was filibustered. and then we see in the early 1960's a few. and then we see from about 1970, took off. realize that it was not thought that it was appropriate to filibuster just any debatable motion. the idea was it was an issue of deep principle, that you had to make a final stand on to block a bill from passing, that would be final passage. but now, suddenly, oh, hey, we can paralyze the process
